Imagine you have a mess of bees building a hive on your front porch. There are two approaches you can take. One is: You can leave the bees alone – and allow them to continue building their nest. The bees will, for the most part, reciprocate and leave you alone too. Choosing instead to focus […]
Donald Trump ran for the presidency in no small part – on his promise to Drain the Swamp. Business-as-usual in DC – has for decades been demonstrably and acceleratingly awful. As the federal government grew to the current $4.5-trillion-per year monstrous monstrosity – the cronyism and dirty-dealing grew right along with it. Crony companies know […]
That’s not a massive over-contribution at all. We’ve oft written about huge companies using their huge wallets – to dictate huge cronyism from huge governments. No gaggle of companies has done it more and more effectively – than the Big Tech companies. Silicon Valley Robber Barons Are Using Government As a Weapon Against Us Silicon […]
One of the very many national course corrections President Donald Trump is making – is renegotiating REALLY-bad-for-US global trade deals. We have been the planet’s largest economy for more than half a century. Our current Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is $19.4 trillion. And our trade deals – look like we have the purchasing power of […]
Uber-huge Big Tech company Amazon – is a monster (Market Cap: $906 billion). Amazon founder and chief bottle washer Jeff Bezos – is the world’s richest human. It appears that from their July 5, 1994 beginning – getting huge was Bezos’ only objective. For nearly two decades, Amazon Retail sacrificed profits to growth – and […]
We less government types are perpetually chagrined by the very many failings of government. We want government to do so very little – per the Constitution. Yet government does so very much – in defiance of the Constitution. We would like government to do things well. But we know human nature renders that nigh impossible. […]
It was March 20, 2018. Uber-government-cronyism recipient Amazon – was on the verge of receiving its biggest dose of cronyism ever. It was supposed to be in the bag. So much so – that even our initial headline was premature. Defense Dept Gives Trump Enemy Bezos Ten-Year, Monopoly Cloud Contract This was in keeping with […]
President Donald Trump and his Twitter account – are indispensable weapons in the war against the Left-Deep State-Swamp cabal. The vast majority of Republicans and the Right’s alleged leaders are…quite frankly useless in this (and almost every other regard). They have stood by and silent while the Left took over everything – Washington, D.C., the […]
And then they should kill it. Florida Republican Senator Marco Rubio recently became the latest Republican to weigh in on a huge hunk of cronyism the Department of Defense (DoD) is on the verge of almost certainly handing to uber-crony Amazon. Rubio Calls for Delay of Defense Department’s $10 Billion Cloud Bid: “Senator Marco Rubio […]
An ironic thing about government cronyism. Only the hugest companies – who need the government help the least – can afford to bribe and buy it. (This is NOT a call for Little Guy cronyism. We’d like everyone treated equally by the government and the law – per the Constitution’s Fourteenth Amendment.) Monster company Amazon […]
